"These stone tools, do they feel strange?"
Both Wanwan and Shi Feixuan were very interested in the several stone tools that Yan Kuan grabbed. They could feel some magical qualities on them, which were very special.
The babbling Keke and the three Dragon Prince watched around Yan Kuan, but they lost interest after discovering that these stone utensils were inedible.
Yan Kuan held the broken arm of Stone Man and received countless messages in an instant. There was no change in his eyes and expression, but his gaze turned to Nanhuang again.
"Devil Plains Let's go back next time! Let's go back to Southern Wilderness. Bushi Evil King Shi Zhixuan is back."
Yan Kuan said so, Wanwan and Shi Feixuan both looked at him in surprise. Originally, their plan was to pass Sky Net Nation and then go to the famous Devil Plains, but now he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to return to Southern Wilderness, and said that Shi Zhixuan was back.
This sudden move made Wanwan and Shi Feixuan a little uneasy. They instinctively felt that something bad might happen during this trip back to the Southern Wilderness.
"Open!"
Yan Kuan After putting away the stone ball and stone arm, he swiped the stone dagger towards the void. In an instant, time and space rippled, and countless scenes changed around them.
"Crash..."
Waves of waves crashed on the beach, and the scene on earth became stable again. Several people had appeared on the beach. Looking into the distance, they could see dots of islands. This was already the coast of the South China Sea of the Longevity Continent.
"What kind of artifact is this?"
Wanwan and Shi Feixuan both looked at Yan Kuan's right hand in shock. How could that seemingly rough stone dagger be so powerful?
"It only has this ability in my hands."
Yan Kuan's words made them understand True Meaning. The terrifying magical power just now did not come from the stone dagger, but Yan Kuan's ability.
"Undying Sect is right in front, Shi Zhixuan, he seems to have discovered some "reality", it's very interesting!"
Yan Kuan stared in a certain direction and saw a fuzzy figure that fluctuated across time and space. Sometimes, discovering the "truth" may not necessarily be a good thing.
Eternal Life Realm On the shores of the South China Sea, in recent decades, a Demon Sect branch has emerged that dominates the Southern Wilderness. Undying Sect, founded by the ascendant Evil King Shi Zhixuan, has great influence in the Southern Wilderness area.
Undying Sect is an important land, shrouded in fairy mist and hazy beautiful mountains. It is a treasure land that commemorates the wisdom of heaven and earth. The flowers are fragrant, the birds are chirping, and the waterfalls and springs are flowing, just like Grotto-Heaven a blessed land.
Yan Kuan took Wanwan and Shi Feixuan into this beautiful Immortal Mountain, where white apes danced happily, longevity deer held fruits, and Immortal Crane danced. The clear springs are tinkling, the palaces and pavilions are dotted among the mountains and rivers, Immortal Qi is hazy, it is a pure land emerging from the dust.
Undying Sect has been very lively recently, because the succession ceremony is about to be held, and there are rumors that the founder Shi Zhixuan will also reappear. This ascendant is very famous in the Eternal Life Realm, which makes many people look forward to it.
Yan Kuan led Wanwan and Shi Feixuan towards the depths of the Undying Sect. It was as if no one along the way could see them, without any obstruction. They passed through areas where flowers were fragrant and birds were singing. There were fewer and fewer palaces, and finally they came to the very quiet back mountain.
This is definitely the center of the Bushi lineage, with clouds and smoke curling up, and there are huge copper furnaces in front of several Stone Pagodas. There were thick incense sticks inserted inside. Although no one was seen, there was a silent sense of oppression. There was definitely an unparalleled master guarding the place.
The mottled vermilion door opened silently, and Yan Kuan led Wanwan and Shi Feixuan into an ancient building. They passed through several palaces in succession and stopped in a large hall.
Ancient Hall is very empty, without any unnecessary furnishings. Only an ancient painting is enshrined in the middle, which depicts an old man. His appearance is very similar to the Demon Sect ancestor in Dragon Island, and he also has a birthmark on his hand.
"Real, illusory, what is true, what is false... not on this shore, not on Other Shore, not in the middle, where exactly is it... between illusion, how to find the truth..."
And in the center of this grand palace, a vague figure was sitting cross-legged on a futon, struggling, shouting some words in his mouth.
His state was very wrong. He was clearly sitting there, but it seemed as if he could not sense his presence. His figure was blurry and uncertain. He looked like a real person, but he seemed to be blurred and scattered from time to time, and he seemed like a ball of air or clouds.
Wanwan looked at the Dao Body shadow, with a hint of complexity in his eyes, and suddenly said, "Shi Zhixuan! Is there something wrong with your practice Shattered Demon Seed Spirit? Or are you stimulated by your comprehension of Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Art?"
"Shi Zhixuan? Shi Zhixuan is... I, you are...Wanwan..."
This Dao Body shadow was disturbed by the sudden words, but it solidified instantly. He was no longer ethereal. It seemed as if it had crossed over from another world and truly appeared in the hall.
"Wanwan! Shi Feixuan! You have also shattered and ascended, and... you are..."
Bushi Evil King Shi Zhixuan first looked at Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, then stared at Yan Kuan for a long time. The eyes were almost material, like two sharp swords, but he couldn't see through Yan Kuan at all, and the expression on his face was always solemn.
"You seem confused. Did you discover some truth?"
Yan Kuan said this. He could see that something was wrong with Shi Zhixuan. Perhaps he had come into contact with the legendary "fourth wall" and discovered some "truths".
"You seem to know more than I do."
Shi Zhixuan sighed, and his figure became hazy, seeming to be both virtual and real. He stepped out slowly, and everything around him changed.
His hazy figure seemed to be made of condensed clouds and smoke. Even his facial features could not be seen clearly. The majestic Beauty Mountain river outside the hall suddenly appeared. He stared at the beautiful green mountains in the distance and said in a deep voice, "The country is so picturesque..."
"Shi Zhixuan, what state are you in now?"
Wanwan and Shi Feixuan both looked at Shi Zhixuan in great surprise. They were also ascenders, and they had barely reached the fifth realm of immortality. Shi Zhixuan seemed to have already surpassed this realm by a lot, but had ascended decades earlier. How could there be such a big gap?
"I am Half-Ancestor now! It takes only a few decades to ascend to become Half-Ancestor! It sounds incredible!"
Shi Zhixuan was silent for a moment and shook his head, then looked at Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, and said solemnly, "You may be like me, we should all be of the same type of existence!"
After saying these words, he looked at the distant mountains and continued, "In the world, there is light and darkness, there is good and there is evil, there is right and there is wrong. You can find the opposite of everything in this world. Do you know what the opposite of Taoist is?"
Yan Kuan listened quietly, looking at Shi Zhixuan without saying anything.
"Are you sure you are still alive?"
Shi Zhixuan turned to look at Yan Kuan.
"Of course."
Yan Kuan nodded with certainty. As a strong man close to the level of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, he is very sure of his "reality". Even if there is a "fourth wall", as long as someone comes to his world, he will still be truly invincible, close to the "Shi Hao" in the original work, integrating Past Future.
Shi Zhixuan smiled, his voice a little ethereal, "Actually, it's hard to be sure. How do you know that you and I are not someone else's dream?"
Shi Feixuan said quickly at this time, "How do you know that we are someone else's dream?"
"So I say, it's hard to say for sure."
Shi Zhixuan glanced at her and then said, "Everything in this world can find its opposite, so what is the illusory world that corresponds to the real world?"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Wanwan couldn't help but ask. She felt that the "truth" should be closely related to herself. It might be cruel, but she wanted to find out clearly.
"The blood of the sky, the essence of the earth, the battle between yin and yang, weeping blood Mystic Yellow. I am talking about reality and illusion, and I am talking about how the world will be destroyed. Some people exist in Past and also in Future. Their appearance has been destined long ago..."
Shi Zhixuan said, "Close your eyes and sense with your heart. You will see Half-Ancestor flying across the sky and earth, and you will see many legendary characters flying all over the sky..."
The clouds and smoke are misty, and Shi Zhixuan condenses into a human form for a while, and then surges next to Stone Table like water waves, making it impossible to explore its depth. Some of his remarks will shock everyone.
"You use your heart to sense..."
Shi Zhixuan's words seemed to have a magical power. Wanwan and Shi Feixuan slowly spread their consciousness and rushed towards the far-reaching sky under his guidance.
Scenes of incredible scenes, endless figures floating, it should be All Beings in the world, otherwise how could there be so many people, but those figures have fallen into a deep sleep.
A gust of wind blew, and the sleeping scene of All Beings turned into ashes. There was silence between heaven and earth. They gradually saw traces of the familiar Half-Ancestors.
Daoist Jieyin, Daoist Zhunti, Master Tongtian, Yuan Yuan and others are all-powerful, while White Tiger Sage Emperor, Lord Taijun of Three Infants, Sun Saint God and others travel across the world.
The sky shook, and more figures appeared. They felt a strange feeling. He clearly didn't recognize those people, but he called out their names all at once.
Among them are Shi Zhixuan, as well as themselves, Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, as well as the characters "Future", Dugu Qiubai, Li Xunhuan, etc. "They" seem to have been deliberately evolved, and "Future" has long been destined.
There are also many legendary characters flying all over the sky and galloping under the sky. They saw many people, even those they had never met before, and they instantly knew who the figure represented. It was too strange and mysterious.
Several Heavenly Stele flew in, the stars shook, the sky sprinkled green blood, the earth produced essence, Half-Ancestor roared, and All Gods feared. With corpses lying thousands of miles away and bleeding floating on the oars, a desolate picture finally came to an end...
It's all like a dream. All traces slowly faded away, leaving nothing in the empty void. Their consciousness slowly retreated, and then they returned to the real world, and everything returned to clarity.
"What do those... exactly mean?"
Wanwan stared at Shi Zhixuan, her delicate body trembling a little, and there was even more fear in her words.
Shi Feixuan The jade hand holding the sword hilt was also shaking. This was a huge thing for a sword user, but she couldn't calm down at this moment.
"I'm talking about fiction and reality from beginning to end."
Shi Zhixuan was speechless and continued, "I have made it very clear. Many Half-Ancestors praised by the world may be illusory beliefs. Even Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, and even me, Bushi Evil King Shi Zhixuan, are all illusory. Do you believe it?"
"Impossible!"
Shi Feixuan quickly retorted, "We are all real. You must have gone crazy practicing magic! If you don't exist, then who is standing in front of us and where does it come from?"
"Everything can find its opposite. There is reality and there is illusion. We are all the same, coming from nothingness."
Undying Evil King then spoke, his words becoming more and more shocking, "The so-called life is a big dream, and some worlds are even a dream. Many people live in other people's dreams."
"Do people like Yuan, Tongtian, Zhunti, and Jieyin really exist? Who can find their records among the traces left in the barbaric years?"
"Suiren, Youchao, Fuxi, Nüwa... Even though they lived in the prehistoric era and have gone through endless years, we can still find evidence that they really existed. They are the real ancestor gods."
"And what are the original, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, Sun God, etc.? They are just Illusory Empty Flower. False gods born from nothingness."
"The most powerful false god in this world is Hongjun, who claims to be able to compete with the real ancestor god in a battle of life and death."
"When the fake becomes real, the real is also fake. There is nothing but nothing. Hongjun comes from illusion, but it has been solidified from illusion. His combat power is comparable to that of an ancestral god. This is the ultimate embodiment of illusion. It can be said that he is the ultimate existence of those of us who are illusory and real..."
"It's a shame. Some people don't worship the real Ancestor God Suiren, Fuxi, Nüwa, etc., but go to the Hongjun mountain to call the Supreme Saint."
"I hope to shatter the illusion and restore the real world. When I see you, I see hope."
"The blood of the sky, the essence of the earth, the battle between yin and yang, weeping blood Mystic Yellow..."
Shi Zhixuan said and looked at Yan Kuan. In this person, he saw some kind of "hope".
"Shi Zhixuan, are you sure that the many ancestor gods and everything in this world are really... real!"
Yan Kuan suddenly spoke and said something even more astonishing than Shi Zhixuan had said before.
"Of course it is real. Everything in the world has flesh and blood. The ancient ancestor gods have relics and even corpses and remains."
Evil King Shi Zhixuan sighed and said, "Actually, I am also a little worried about the problems of the ancestor gods. I suspect that Suiren, Fuxi, Nüwa, etc. have died in the prehistoric years. I am very afraid that one day their bones will be dug up..."
"Skeletons? Relics? Do these represent reality!"
Yan Kuan continued to speak, Shi Zhixuan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed again, while Wanwan and Shi Feixuan had pale faces and became more and more frightened.
"But there is no need to worry about these things. Even if everything, including the whole world, is illusory, so what if you believe that you are real and continue to become stronger enough to break everything, then you are the "real" and the only "origin"."
Yan Kuan can guess Shi Zhixuan's thoughts. He also has his own experience of guessing, but he never doubts anything because of this reason, because it is meaningless and unnecessary.
Is it meaningful to think about real and illusory? It has no meaning except shaking one's heart. As long as you have the power to break everything, even if it is a "real" intervention, you have the power to suppress it.
